According to PWInsider, WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler has opted to re-sign with the WWE. This comes after weeks of speculation regarding his contract status, and rumors that he may leave when it expires. Ziggler has vocally expressed his frustration in the past over his position in the company.
The two-time former World Heavyweight champion has been paired with Lana for the past month, working a program with the injured Rusev. Ziggler was also one of the primary characters on WWE’s new show, Swerved, which premiered this week on the WWE Network. In addition to this, Dolph Ziggler has been heavily featured in the new ads promoting WWE’s relationship with Tapout, which is set to kick off next year.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted this week that New Japan Pro Wrestling, TNA Wrestling, as well as numerous other promotions would likely be interested in his services, and he could probably make between $350,000-400,000 per year working a reduced schedule.
Dolph Ziggler actually joked about retiring during a stand-up comedy set at The Laugh Factory this week. The Observer also noted that many close to Ziggler said he was considering life without WWE recently, as well.
We’ll provide more details as they become available.
